We use to camp extremely lean, virtually all dried ingredients, even dry drinks at night! Our goal was always to single carry portages; so one daypack and canoe, and a portage pack for all tent, food, tarp, clothes and sleeping products.
As we got older we decided to include more luxury items; even though it meant doubling the portage trips. (or tripling when you count walking back) Nowadays I wont do a trip again without highback chairs, buns and mayo, and never without a nice single malt to sip by the fire and enjoy the northern lights!
I'm not knocking your choices and the OP did not specify the ingredient parameters.
We also bring more luxury items - latest being a pair of BA Mica Basins. I also got frustrated with water filtration and now bring a 1/2 kg Katadyn Pocket. However, a hip flask of scotch is our only non-lake sourced form of liquid.
